The racing game has now officially become a joke for the gambler. it is exactly what the neo track leaders have dreamed of. it took them a while, but they have finally turned the best legalized gambling game into a spectator sport. The hollywood gold cup and a 5 horse field. look at all the stakes races recently. grade 1 or grade 2 . all we are seeing are 5 horse fields, 7 if the gurus feel generous. regardless of the small fields. you still have 2 or more horses without a prayer. do not know about you.if i will be a spectator ,i might as well watch the giants and the yankees in the comfort of my air conditioned or heated home. i went to belmont yesterday,met some people and said my hellos.i left early. bad racing and brutal hot weather.it seems that the only races worth watching are the elite of the elite. the 3 yo classic races and the breeders cup. as they say in politics when discussing the constitution "our founding fathers .... yada, yada, yada. same in racing.our founding fathers founded this game to be enjoyed,but mostly to be wagered on. like going to a 4 star restaurant and the menu sonsists of 2 main courses.
